SANITARY SOA]? BOX.

Application filed December 28, 1921. Serial No. 525,460.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, EDWIN. J. KENDALL, a citizen of the Dominion of Canada, residing at Beaver Cove, Vancouver Island, in the Province of British Columbia, Canada, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Sanitary Soap Boxes, of which the following is a specification.

The present invention relates to an improved sanitary soap receptacle. The prin cipal object of the invention is to provide a mechanical, sanitary soap receptacle, upon actuation of which, the soap in the receptacle, is abraded, the abraded miniature portions falling through an opening in the lower portion of the receptacle into the opcrators hand.

Other novel features of the invention reside in the mechanical abrasion of the soap.

With these and other objects in View, the invention consists in the construction. combination and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings and pointed out in the claim hereunto appended.

Figure l is a perspective view of my present invention.

Figure 2 is a transverse vertical section of Figure 1.'

Figure 3 is a vertical cross section of Fig sides 8 and 9 of the receptacle enlarged arcuately. Intermediate the enlarged arcuate portion of the receptacle, is positioned the abrasion member 10 which is preferably constructed of sheet metal. The abrasion member 10'is substantially mounted on the transverse portion 11 of the actuating rod 12 which is pivotally mounted in the sides of projections 15 are configurated on the arcuate periphery 16 of the abrasion member. These projections abrade the soap upon actuation of the abrasion member.

. A suitable braclret,.as indicated by the numeral 17, is substantially mounted on one abrasion member by the weight 19 which is loosely positioned above the soap 18. An

opening 20 is positioned at the lower termij A. door 21. is positioned as indicated diagrammatically and nal of the receptacle.

facilitates the access to the abrasion member if the same should becomeclogged.

When the operator desires to wash, the

rod 12 is actuated in an oscillatable manner and the abrasion member 10 is likewise oscillated. The actuation of the abrasion member scrapes miniature portions from the soap and the same fall through the opening 20 into the'operators hand.

It is obvious that I have provided an efiicient and sanitary device of the character described which is economical in construction and eflicient in operation. I I

ll hile I have illustrated and described preferred form of construction of my invention, it will be understood that minor changes in construction, combination and arrange- I,

ment of parts may be made without departing from the spirit and scope ofthe appended claim. Y

the

From the foregoing, it thought that the construction of my invention will be clearly understood and, therefore, a more extended explanation has been omitted.

What I claim as new is: A device of thecharacter stated comprising a cutter, its operating shaft, a hollow bracket, and a retaining nut for the operating shaft, the said hollow bracket allowing;

access to said retaining nut for the purpose of assembling and disassembling the device."

In testimony whereof,I affix my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
